    Hello my friends...I have done every single thing on the list to do and all by about 1pm!!!...we then went for dinner and to Aldi were my DH bought me a nice new 4 slice toaster for £14.99...some pyrex dishes £5.99 and one of those extendable over the sink colanders £3.99....
    When we came back the lady from Tiscali high complaints management team phoned and as done as requested and is also making sure the bill is reduced this month and that we then get 2 months free and was hugely sorry...it took a complaint to ISPA to get it sorted...but worth it...so will see how it goes!!!...I also got her to e-mail the action she was taking so that if anything goes wrong I can escalate the complaint with ISPA again.
    I got up at 4am this morning as I have a really bad cough and was choking...so think I will have to go to the DRS tomorrow...I may have a rest on the couch shortly...At the dentist I needed 2 fillings so have appointments for those...
    That's about it here....I'm intending to take it easy tomorrow but who knows what will happen!!!..
    The Admin never get done when I'm working except the absolutely necessary...but..this will change as I'm putting things in envelopes month by month and will take to writing them all up properly shortly and kep on top.

    Or there will be slapped legs...

    A choking sensation...forgive me, but I've never seen that in anyone's "Top 10 things to have..."

    Hi Taxi
    Hope you take it easy tomorrow.:rolleyes: That's two hectic days youv'e had and its only Tuesday!

    PS......Think ZTD meant the bit where you woke up at 4am choking
    with your cough.

    Morning all....I am taking it easy today......you will be pleased to know I'm still sat here in my jammies..though I've been up since 4 again..same problem was choking....I've phoned the DR and got an appointmnt for 4.40pm today....perhaps I'll manage to get some sleep tonight!!!
    For everyone asking about paperwork and how I manage to get time to do my job...the paperwork and running about sorting things out is really bad when it comes to pit test time as insurance is due also then and other little jobs...this is usually beginning of september but is now beginning of august as I've just put the new cab on.
    The books I do really have to start getting organised as if I don't do them on a regular basis...I usually have to take a few days off to do them..so as you can see is organisation isn't my strongest point!!!....but I'm changing my ways ...the paperwork for this year is neatly organised and just need writing up..so once I've done the accounts that need submitting...I will write the new ones up to date and keep on top of them weekly..so that will be a major obstacle overcome!!!
    The next major one is to put money away every week for our tax as I end up putting this on the CCs or OD ...so will start this as soon as I'm back ...at work....maybe sooner....

    Hi Taxi,
    glad to see that you are on the mend, but that also you have been making good use of your enforced absence from the cab!
    I hope you can get yourself organised, then that will be one of us sorted.....You should see my desk! The Fly Ladies would faint!

    Evening all...I haven't done much today...just tottered...I've washed up...done washing...dried it on the line/about to put more in and cooked the tea and washed up after that...I tidied around downstairs and DH hoovered...
    I've been to the DRs and got anti-biotics and bought a bottle of cough medicine..so hopefully will be able to get some sleep tonight!!!
    I've even got out the account boxes...to make a start...and plan to have them finished by friday evening at the latest...so watch this space!!!
    Not a lot of debt busting going on but have got 2 free months on my broadband and I've not missed any payments...what a pity I've had to spend £3500 this month on the CC card that I pay off in full but guess what that is all in the bank ready to go...so that's an achievement...don't worry I've not been on a mad spending spree...it's all tax deductible fuel,car repairs,card deposit etc....
    I have got some extra in the house to pay off a CC but will leave it sat here and add it to next months overpayment...and let the DD go out...it doesn't matter as all my cards are interest free...
    Going to see what you've all been up to
